    git-annex: fd:14: commitBuffer: invalid argument (invalid character)
    failed
    git-annex: status: 1 failed

*What is the expected output? What do you see instead?*

I expect that "git annex status" will complete successfuly and show information about all repositories.
Instead of that I get the "git-annex: fd:14: commitBuffer: invalid argument (invalid character)" error above.

*What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?*

This is with Debian's git-annex_3.20121001_i386.deb installed on an Ubuntu 12.04 system.
Using Ubuntu's original version (3.20120406) the error message is a bit different (here I used the name acentuação instead of demonstração):

    trusted repositories: git-annex-shell: //tmp/acentuação: changeWorkingDirectory: does not exist (No such file or directory)
    Command ssh ["-S","/var/tmp/acentua\231\227o/.git/annex/ssh/localhost","-o","ControlMaster=auto","-o","ControlPersist=yes","localhost","git-annex-shell 'configlist' '//tmp/acentua\195\167\195\163o'"] failed; exit code 1
